## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability youtube-timestamp-link-generator-7f3beb3e -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you create a YouTube timestamp link for this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ that starts playing at 1:23?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to programmatically generate YouTube timestamp links at scale, or when building an agent workflow that automatically links to specific moments in videos — e.g. auto-linking citations in content, creating chapter links, or sharing highlights without manually constructing URL parameters.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed YouTube URL returns empty or error result
- Non-existent video ID may still generate a URL that fails when opened
- Missing required URL/ID field causes request failure
- Invalid time format may result in incorrect or zero timestamp
- Private or deleted videos will still get a link generated but it won't be playable
